  • Show me a river that's so deep
    Show me a mountain so high
    I'll show you love that'll last forever
    Flyin' high, so high
    Ah, show me a place where dreams are for dreamers
    And all the things you wish come true, yeah
    I'd wish the world had all happy people
    Then there'd be no more wishing to do

    Oh
    Sweet love
    Oh
    Sweet love
    Oh
    Woo
    Sweet, sweet love

    Sun shines over the rainbow
    High on a hill
    Take a ride on a magic carpet
    And you know it's for real
    The world is filled with all the lonely people
    Trying to find their way
    All they need is a hand to guide them
    To a brighter day

    Oh
    Sweet love (sweet, sweet love)
    Oh (well, well)
    Sweet love (sweet, sweet love)
    Oh
    Woo, yeah
    Sweet love, yeah

    Sweet love that comes through the ages
    Reach out and touch my soul
    Give my life so much meaning
    And everyone a heart of gold

    Oh
    Sweet love (well, well, well)
    Oh
    Sweet love (sweet, sweet, sweet love)
    Oh
    (Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love)

    Oh you needed love, woo
    (Sweet love)
    Sweet, sweet love
    (Oh)
    Sweet love, well

    I know you're searchin'
    I know you're searchin' for a little love
    A little peace and understanding
    And I know it's been hard tryin' to find your way
    But you got to keep on searchin' harder, day by day
    'Cause I want you, and you, you, you, you, you, you, you you and you
    To stand on up, yes sir
    Put a little love in your heart
    Or a little heart in your love
    Together we can make a way
    Huh, listen to me
    Don't wonder too hard, oh, of what I trying to say
    'Cause it's love, love's the only way

    Oh, nothin' but love
    Oh (love)
    Sweet love (Sweet love, ow)
    Oh (when you're down and out and you can't see your way)
    Sweet love (and you need a friend, well)
    Oh (Just call on love, love)
    Sweet love (sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet love) Writer/s: Lionel B. Jr. Richie
